Who needs fencing in Free State
The Free State is mostly farmland, so stock fencing, diamond mesh and gates for camps and homesteads make up a large share of demand. Maize and cattle farmers replace and extend boundary fences, and game farms near the Vaal and in the eastern highlands use taller game fencing. In Bloemfontein and Welkom, homes, townhouse complexes and schools buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing. Mines and the Sasolburg industrial area need secure perimeters. Hard winter frost and summer storms favour galvanised wire and sturdy, well-braced posts.
Typical galvanised diamond mesh requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers fence camps, kraals, homesteads and chicken runs with heavy galvanised mesh
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards, side boundaries and vegetable gardens at low cost
- Game reserves: reserves fence staff housing, workshops and fuel stores
- Mining: mines fence stockpiles, pits, pump stations and restricted areas
- Schools: schools fence back boundaries and maintenance areas
- Industrial: factories fence yards, loading areas and stores with heavy duty mesh
